 All notable changes to GSD-T are documented here. Updated with each release.
 
+## [3.12.13] - 2026-04-17
+
+### Fixed — `/` Prefix Strip Sitewide
+
+Claude Code does not namespace local slash commands under `user:`, so every `/gsd-t-*`, `/checkin`, `/branch`, `/Claude-md`, `/global-change` reference produced `Unknown command: /X` errors when the user typed one. This release strips the prefix from every live reference:
+
+- **54 command files** in `commands/*.md`
+- **All live docs**: `README.md`, `GSD-T-README.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`, `docs/*.md`, `CLAUDE.md`
+- **All templates**: `templates/CLAUDE-global.md`, `templates/CLAUDE-project.md`, `templates/stacks/*.md`
+- **Scripts and CLI**: `bin/gsd-t.js`, `bin/gsd-t-unattended.js`, `bin/design-orchestrator.js`, `scripts/gsd-t-auto-route.js`, `scripts/gsd-t-update-check.js`
+- **All `.gsd-t/contracts/*.md` and live `.gsd-t/domains/*/scope.md`**
+- **User-global `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`** (via `sed` in the same pass)
+- Test fixture strings in `test/headless.test.js` preserved — those are regression-test literals asserting `claude -p` rejects the `/` prefix.
+- Historical archives (`.gsd-t/milestones/*`, `.gsd-t/progress-archive/*`, `.gsd-t/continue-here-*`) left untouched as time-capsule records.
+
+### Fixed — `update-all` Now Upgrades the Global CLI Binary
+
+v3.12.12's `update-all` propagated command files to `~/.claude/commands/` but never ran `npm install -g @tekyzinc/gsd-t@latest`. Result: the CLI binary stayed stale even after `npm publish`, so new features (like v3.12.12's token-log observability) never activated on user machines that had updated "successfully."
+
+`bin/gsd-t.js`:
+- `doUpdateAll()` now calls new `upgradeGlobalBinary()` helper FIRST, which runs `npm install -g @tekyzinc/gsd-t@latest` via `execFileSync({stdio: 'inherit'})`.
+- After upgrade succeeds, the newly-installed on-disk version is compared against the running process's `PKG_VERSION`. If they diverge, `reexecUpdateAll()` hands off to the new binary with `GSDT_POST_UPGRADE=1` to prevent recursion.
+- On upgrade failure (e.g., missing global-npm permissions), logs the error and continues with command-file propagation so the user isn't fully blocked.
+- Upgrade is skipped when `GSDT_POST_UPGRADE=1` is set (re-entry from self-invocation).
+
+### Changed — Global `CLAUDE.md` Size Reduction (−26%)
+
+`~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` was 41,131 chars (above Claude Code's 40k auto-warning threshold). Three optimizations trimmed it to 30,272 chars without losing information:
+
+1. **Commands Reference table removed** (~63 lines). The router and `/gsd-t-help` resolve commands dynamically — nothing reads this table at runtime. Replaced with a one-line pointer: *"See `/gsd-t-help` for the complete command list."*
+2. **Markdown Tables / emoji-padding section extracted** to `templates/stacks/_markdown.md` (32 lines, `_` prefix = universal stack rule, auto-injected by Stack Rules Engine for every subagent spawn). CLAUDE.md now has a one-line pointer at that template.
+3. **Autonomous Execution Rules subsections tightened** — QA Agent, Design Verification, Red Team, Headless-by-Default Spawn, Unattended Execution each cut from multi-paragraph re-statements to 2–3 lines: rule + enforcement + path to the authoritative contract/protocol file. The contracts (`qa-agent-contract.md`, `headless-default-contract.md`, etc.) and prompts (`red-team-subagent.md`, `design-verify-subagent.md`) remain the source of truth for method specifics.
+
+Same edits propagated to `templates/CLAUDE-global.md` so future installs inherit the lean version.
+
+### Changed — Project `CLAUDE.md` Audit
+
+Audited `CLAUDE.md` in this repo (the @tekyzinc/gsd-t dev repo itself). Removed a duplicate Destructive Action Guard block (verbatim copy of the global's). Pre-Commit Gate now points at `.gsd-t/contracts/pre-commit-gate.md` (which exists and owns the full checklist) while retaining the 7 repo-specific extensions inline. 7,095 → 6,269 chars (−12%).
+
+### Added — New Stack Rule: `templates/stacks/_markdown.md`
+
+Universal (always-injected) stack rule covering markdown-table formatting with emoji. Included in every subagent spawn regardless of detected tech stack, per the Stack Rules Engine's `_`-prefix convention.
+
+### Note — v3.12.12 Supervisor Status
+
+The earlier hypothesis that v3.12.12 broke `bin/gsd-t-unattended.cjs` via a missing `require("./debug-ledger.js")` was incorrect. `bin/debug-ledger.js` exists, ships in the package, and has been present since a March commit. The supervisor was running fine on the globally-installed v3.11.11 binary — it simply never picked up v3.12.12's env-var injection because `update-all` never upgraded the binary (see above fix).

 **How it works:**
 
 - `gsd-t unattended` spawns `bin/gsd-t-unattended.js` as a fully detached OS process. The supervisor runs `claude -p` workers in a relay — one worker per iteration — each in a fresh context window. State is written atomically to `.gsd-t/.unattended/state.json` between iterations.
-- `/user:gsd-t-unattended` does the same from inside Claude Code, then calls `ScheduleWakeup(270, '/gsd-t-unattended-watch')` to start an in-session watch loop that ticks every 270 seconds and prints progress.
-- If you run `/clear` + `/user:gsd-t-resume` during a live run, the resume command auto-detects the running supervisor and re-attaches the watch loop — no re-launch needed.

+- If you run `/clear` + `/gsd-t-resume` during a live run, the resume command auto-detects the running supervisor and re-attaches the watch loop — no re-launch needed.
 - The supervisor halts automatically when: the milestone reaches COMPLETED status, the `--hours` wall-clock cap expires, `--max-iterations` is reached, safety rails detect a stall or unrecoverable error, or the stop sentinel is touched.
 
 **Platform support:** macOS and Linux fully supported (including sleep-prevention via `caffeinate` on macOS). Windows is supported except sleep-prevention. See `docs/unattended-windows-caveats.md` for known Windows limitations.
